OOC A Time for Everything

[Merelan]

It had been a long time. Years, meant nothing. Eons were her calendar.
Slowly she felt herself awakening again. Her soul being bound into a physical being. Ripped from the cosmos and pain, such pain. Always pain. To be tied to a being again, meant pain, and feeling and emotion, and hate, and love.

Blind still, and immobile. She lay there and listened. Her ears attuned to her surrounding. Sweet scent wafted over her. Gentle noises reached her. Birdsong. Voices. Crying.

Earth again.

But still blind. Someone took her hand, holding it tightly. A man's voice begged her not to die. Would that he knew the truth to what was happening. Whoever she was becoming, was already dead and gone. Her body left. Yes, a her this time. Not always, but mostly.

But still blind. Moaning. His voice happier, pleading. Calling out to someone. Noises louder. Shutting out the birdsong. A child's cry in the background.

"I, I..." trying to speak. Remember how to move the muscles, to make the sounds these humans used to communicate.

"Hush now lovie. You are going to be fine now. We thought we had lost you there. Hush, rest. Rest." A soft woman's voice stilling her. Spilling water into her mouth. Eagerly she licked. Then slept. Slippign back into the rest she needed to finish the change. Hearing the man's voice as she slid away.

"She lives, oh Praise the Goddess, my Keina lives. Lives." His sobs deepening.

Keina. She was Keina, this time.




OOC: I have no clue what I am doing with this. I think she is a watcher, a guardian. Pulled into a physical being when "extra" help is needed. My character shall be in her late twenties, her name Keina and she is blind.

Time frame? Let's put it somewhere vaguely about the time of the middle ages. World? Earth, but one that has magic. So mystical creatures are allowed also. Any ideas???? Let me know. Let's set this up before we actually start the thread, okay?

 

[Merelan]

I have had a couple pm's, anyone else interested? Anyone????
This will be a dedicated thread. That means we really want to take our time and make a story, not just a slam bam thread. Please........

 

[Merelan]

Honest, I am not just playing here with myself.

So far we have a healer, a bard and another character not quite yet formed.

any other players?
It is your loss if youm iss out.

 

[Sweetp4u]

Hey mere I thought about the role I could play.. I think it would be fun to play a "Trapped bird".. In other words a lady of the keep, but unwillingly there.. Tell me if that fits into the time of the thread and the characters needed.. I still have more things up my sleeve

 

[Merelan]

Okay you all had your chance now you have to wait and see where it leads.

Everyone ready? I think I will start this today. Need to get coffee first.

 

[The GrandMage]

Ohh! Ohh! Me me me me!

I want to be the out for vengance warrior-wizard who has sex with all the women!

 

[Trist]

I would greatly love to be in such a thread, Merelan, if you should allow me to join. I do have a question of the pre-written that I hope you could answer, but if it is still unknown to you, hopefully we could come up with something suitable to give the thread.

You write of your character taking over the body of someone who is apparently dead, and is revived when your spirit enters it. Curiousity pangs me to ask how this Keina was killed. There seems to be a somberness to the group she finds herself in the company of; are they a travelling group trying to make a living of adventures? Innocents of an attacked village?

Once I am aware of this I will join the thread with a character of my own, depending on the starting situation.

 

[Zircon]

Hi, Merelan,

I wonder if I could bring over a char that was not accepted. Here is the gist of it:

Name : Caxoriel (Cax for short)
Race : Elf/Human
Parents : Father – Doriniel - Son of A High Elf-Lord
: Mother – Wynsong - A Human healer

Height : 2 m
Weight : 85 kg.
Age : 29
Sex : Male
Hair : Brown, Shoulder length
Eyes : Brown
Appearance : Slightly upturned ears, but could easily pass for a human. Inherited the human appearance of his mother. Sharp eyes and lithesome build, strength and move quality inherent in Wood Elves.
Weapons : Ash Longbow, proficient in small knives(hidden in various places), bastard sword

Clothing : Non-descript utilitarian brown tunic and trousers, comfortable leather half boots, gray woolen cloak (mountain sheep wool - would not take dyes, but waterproof), a leather pouch containing remedies for common ailments, and poisons.

History :

An orphan, Caxoriel turn to thieving to survive after massacring the village of his youth. The cities offered ample opportunities for those willing to take the risks. By day, Cax assumed the part of a healer, offering aid to the poor and needy. These retched few shunned by society offered salvation for Cax’s soul after the sins of his past. By night, Caxoriel traveled with ease along the Thieves Highway, searching and relieving the rich and noble of their worldly valuables. With his skills and inborn abilities, Caxoriel managed to live comfortably, albeit an uneasy life with him looking over his shoulders for the Cities’ Guards all the time. Caxoriel seeks for his place in the world. He seeks for peace of the soul that has so far eluded him. Only time will tell whether he had sought in vain.

I can change things around if this character concept is not what you have in mind.

[Merelan]

You guys are awesome, and I am now nervous I can keep up.

Okay.... Keina ...

she died in childbirth, how's that? Blind due to a plague a few years back. They are traveling gypsy's. That way we can travel and meet you all and still keep together. Not sure but that her husband will take the babe and leave when he realize's it is no longer his Keina. That way she is freer.
Trist... welcome... and Grand Mage. I was about to ask you as you come highly recomennded.
Zircon.... that sounds fabulous. I better get my rear in gear and flesh this out.

Stay tuned!

 

[Merelan]

Thanks again for the invite in, hopefully I can be an asset.

 

[The GrandMage]

Oh my, a character!

Name: Devina Silas
Sex: Male
Age: Appears to be in his twenties, but is much older.
Occupation: Warrior/wizard
Height: 5'8"

Appearance: He wears a black shirt with long sleeves, which widen as they go down, until they are just beyond the tips of his fingers when his arm is straight, and is able to hold the multitude of things he has hidden within them. He wears a loose pair of black trousers, which tuck into a pair of thick boots that go up to his knees, and are coated in a thin layer of metal. He wears a breastplate over his shirt, and a pair of clamshell gauntlets to allow his finger the work they need for spells. He has a thick belt, holding other oddities and his sword. He wears the typical wizarding hat, although it comes to a point, it isn't highly starched, so the point tends to flop to the back of his head.

He has a single scar crossing his right eye, and they eye is grey and heavily clouded with blindness. His hair is brown, and his good eye is green. And no, he doesn't have a long beard.

Purpose: To seek revenge, and kill any who, you know,...steal his food or something.

Thought put behind this: Thinking? What's that?

Description: 5'9" tall, about 165#, blonde hair past his shoulders worn in a ponytail, piercing grey eyes, wears plate torso armor and brigandine armor on his arms and legs, wears a plain tunic and trousers underneath, has a longsword (which he knows how to use expertly), a horsebow and 40 arrows (also knows how to use expertly), wakes up on a battlefield (having been left for dead) knowing nothing of who he is or of his past.

His Past: He was the leader of a large mercenary unit turned raider, they took what they wanted from villages. Those that opposed them were burned to the ground and all of the inhabitants were killed outright.

 

[Merelan]

Thought i would bump this up... besides. I think I know why Goddess has brought me here. It is to prevent the marriage of Sweet pea.... she would have ad a child that later went on to destroy the world with his powers.
Instead she is to guide her to a chosen one, to become the Mother of new magi.

How's that? Too cliche?

 

[Sweetp4u]

Actually sounds very interesting Merelan Im ok with it..

 

[Merelan]

Anyone else joining tonight? Or waiting till later.

 

[The GrandMage]

Whoa, whoa, whoa, what the Hell is all this, then? When the fuck did my character get a sister. I didn't write that. I mean, it is entirely possible, but still, you're making shit up about my character. I was actually working on my charcter's history. Didn't think of that, did you, just running off with vital parts of my character's background whenever you feel like it. Well,....fine, don't edit, I'll go along. But let my anger be a lesson for you to always check with people before creating vital parts of their past histories. I mean, it's okay to say you priorly know someone, or something like that, that won't affect how that character acts much,but that was a life-changing matter you're throwing out their, the death of a pure sister. Talk to pople before you do that, okay?

 

[Merelan]

I humbly and sincerely beg pardon. I was not aware this would effect anything. Had to have a reason that this rag was pure and sweet.
If I offended, and I seem to have, I beg your forgiveness. As others who play with me know, I hate it when people play with my character. Did not realize this would cause such troubles.

Please..... I can edit, anything. Just let me know and I shall be so seriously careful from now on to ask first and then post.

 

[The GrandMage]

Okay. Thanks. You're forgiven. No big deal. Don't worry about editing. Besides, then I'd have to remember all that crap I've already ditched to move on with this idea. And I have a very poor memory.

And what makes you think I couldn't come up witha reason for having it be sweet and pure? I'm not carrying a rag around just to clean my sword, you know.

Now that that's out of the way, where is this going? I hope you have some plans or something, because I'm getting bored with all this herb-gathering crap. My character is a warrior, who's getting really on edge right now,....who's the enemy, just some dark shadowy figure of evil from a plane of spiritual existance?

And would someone tell me who this Goddess is I keep hearing about? Is it some specific one, or are you all just trying to confuzzle me?

 

[Sweetp4u]

lol Grand hun read the first post

 

[Merelan]

Okay guys, where would you like this to go?
I introduced the herbal thing to connect us all. I will not run the thread though, is fun sometimes to see where it goes on it's own.

we need a bad guy though, any suggestions?

Thank you for forgiving me, I was worried you would stay angry, and would not want to lose such a writer as you.

 

[nightray]

I'm willing to play the bad guy if ya'll are willing to have me just let me no what kinde of bad guy you need and I'll wip one up I read the IC thread and it look good.

 

[The GrandMage]

Hey, I'm going to share with you something many other have to learn.

I never stay angry. I use my temper to sheild me, surrounding me. But that's where it stays. I'm all kind and fuzzy on the inside. But people get all upset.

Rather than staying angry, I'm likely to have a burst and forget about it. Move on. I suggest everyone else does to.

On the subject of plot, hey, you're the plotmaster. But, I'm thinking that since we have this one major bad guy lurking in the shadows, Hell, let's make me hate him. Ohhh,....could I kill 'im, could I kill 'im?

Connect the dots!

 

[Merelan]

I for one welcome Ray. We need an evil bad guy to battle.

So hop on nightray, you are most welcome.

 

[The GrandMage]

Okay Ray, we need someone otherworldly, evil, uncaring, self-centered, manipulative, powerful, and has been hunted by my character for years, but only didn't care because he had his own work to attend to.

Embody all of that, and your motivation is to send the entire world into a dark time in which chaos and destruction will sweep the lands and you will rle over all as a dark, evil,....ruler-type-guy.

Can you do it? Of course you can. But,.....can you do it as a midget?
